Teen Caged For Terrifying Knife-Point Mugging

A knife-wielding teenager mugger, who held a blade to his victim's throat while forcing the man to withdraw cash from an ATM, has been locked-up for three years.

Deureece Reid, 18, of Hoe Lane, Enfield demanded £250 cash – the maximum allowed – from his 33 year-old victim.

He was convicted of robbery in Queen Anne's Place, Bush Hill Park, Enfield on December 12, last year after a two-day trial at Wood Green Crown Court.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Rob Delaney, from Enfield’s Proactive Crime Unit, said: “This was a terrifying attack, causing the victim to fear for his life.

“This sentence will take this attacker off of our streets for a number of years.”
